R2-MFC is a version of MFC recommended by the International 
Telecommunication Union (ITU). It provides signaling between a CO and a 
switch over analog or digital CO, Direct Inward Dialing (DID), or Direct Inward 
and Outward Dialing (DIOD) trunks. It also provides signaling between 2 
DEFINITY switches.
DEFINITY ECS provides MF signaling that complies with...

MF Shuttle
MF shuttle signaling, for country code 15 (Russia), uses R1 frequency and 
noncompelled signaling. With MF shuttle signaling, it is possible to change to 
decadic rotary pulse in the middle of address signal exchange. MF shuttle 
signaling is available on CO, DID, and DIOD trunk groups.
Also, automatic number identification (ANI) transmission, for...

Guidelines for administering MF signaling
To administer MF signaling, first you identify the origination switch and the 
destination switch. (The switch making the call is the origination switch; the 
switch answering the call is the destination switch.) 
nThe origination switch creates forward signals, classified as group I and 
group II signals. 
nThe...

Second, you assign the correlation between signal codes and their meanings.
1. Assign a code to every message. The code consists of a group category, like 
group II or A, and a number.
nFor example, you might assign code A.1 to the message 
“next-digit.” 
2. Assign a signal to each identifying code. 
nIn every country, the frequencies (levels may differ by...

nAuthorization Codes
The COR of the authorization code as administered on the 
authorization-code form is not used for ANI prefix determination, even if 
the originating endpoint enters an authorization code before call processing 
for an outgoing call seizes an outgoing trunk. If the originating endpoint is 
an extension, the extension’s ANI is used. If the...

nHunt Groups and Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) Splits
For ANI, a physical terminal’s extension number and COR overrides the 
extension number and COR of the hunt group or ACD split that the 
terminal is a member of or logged into. ANI prefix and ANI truncation 
apply to terminals that are members of hunt groups or logged into ACD 
splits.

When no ANI is possible, if station sets are equipped with display option, 
they do not display the ANI digits. Instead, the trunk group name displays. 
When ANI is possible, ANI displays on the station set.
For India Only. If ANI digits are padded with “zero,” then zeroes also are 
displayed along with ANI digits.
